Talk Abstract: This talk will discuss research workflows and practices among early-career education scholars. As traditionally libraries held the monopoly on information, the shift in access to information and tools has changed practices. Fragmented tools play a heavy part in piecing together workflows for conducting research, as seamless integrations do not exist. The study examines how early-career scholars are constructing their scholarly workflows and recommends best practices for supporting their workflows. Preliminary answers to these questions will be discussed to help with programming, training, and identifying how academic libraries can support doctoral students and postdoc research work.
